According to reports from Bloomberg, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) sent a memo to some U.S. franchisees telling them that Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) declined to increase lending and they will have to seek others ways to finance store improvements.
The news follows Bank of America's recent merger with investment bank Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) and last week's dislocation in the credit market.
Richard Adams, a consultant to about 300 of the company's franchisees, told Bloomberg, "This is the first signal that turmoil in the financial markets is reaching McDonald's."
